II may be OF interest to readers to
learn something of the process of landing
and discharging an immigrant at Castle
Garden. After the steamship has been
inspected the steerage passenger are
placed. with their baggage. on a barge
and taken direct to the garden. Here
the baggage is transferred to the baggage
room and the passengers are sent to the
rotunda, where they are registered. Then
they are given instructions in their re
spective home tongues regarding the de-
parture of trains and such other matters
MS directly affect them. A short time Is
is now afforded those who wish to leave
at once for out of town to purchase their
tickets. This having been done, the re-
manning portion of the arrivals are sep
arated from the rest and the licensed
boarding house keepers are allowed into
the rotunda to solicit business. Those
who engage board are then given a
chance to leave. Those who are expect
ing friends wait until a call for them il
received, and others, who have no friends
nor any settled plans for the immediate
future, are allowed to remain in the
building over night. These people sleep
on the hoor of the rotunda upon their
own bedding. Those who are sick or
destitute are removed to the temporary
hospital to await transportation to Wards
island, whence they are discharged to re-
main in the city or sent back to Europe
upon the return of the steamships which
brought them here, depending entirely
upon their ability to care for themselves
and avoid becoming public charges.
Those immigrants who are able to care
for themselves, but want some sort of
employment and have no friends to Sc
cure it for them, are provided for by the
labor bureau. In speaking of the opera
tons Of this department Mr.. Connolly
said that female immigrants are and al
ways have been at a great premium.
He has a large number of applicants foi
servants in xccss of the supply, About
100 ladies visit the bureau daily looking
for servants, besides n great number of
applications which come by mai from
every part of the Union. With the mel
employment is moi always SO easily OBJ
tanned, especially ut this season of tn,
year, when outdoor work is not generally
engaged in. Still most of the immi
grants are provided with places without
much difficulty. Last year the bureat

The modern recipes for making cheap
dishes are framed upon the superstition
that you are to obtain the materials of
manufacture for nothing. They should
be written in this form; Go to the market
and beg a beef bone from the butcher:
steal a couple Of parsnips and half Il
dozen of potatoes out Of the pcddler's
cart; get your grocer to trust you for
half a pound of rice; borrow from our
neighbor n cupful Of flour; from another
neighbor a hod Of coal; put your bone
into n quart Of water and let it stew
slowly; slice your potatoes and parsnips;
get An onion somewhere and slice it also;
put these in with the bone; stew two
hours and add your -four: simmer twenty
minutes and serve. This dinner will sup

WHILE the people here generally re-
greet the change in headquarters that takes
away Superintendent deuel. and Assistant
Billiard, still, it is a consolation to know
that the city will gain in population. The
reason is that Superintendent Wurtelle's
Office force is the larger, he having greater
jurisdiction. Eight men will depart with
Mr.. Deuel, while twenty-five men will
come with Mr.. Wurtcllo. Nor is this all.
This will be the headquarters for the

4 Ranch in Montana.

4 large one-story and a half house
built of hewn logs, and neatly ch.nked
and mudded, stands in group Of pine
trees by roaring trout stream. An
irrigatlng ditch brought water into
blue grass lawn, which was Kept closely
mown. There was not a particle or
litter around the house. 1t was in Octo-
Der that 1 visited this ranch. Wood
fires blazed on wide hearths in almost
every room on the ground floor. A
pair of handsome Irish settlers lay in
front of the sitting room fire. Hand
somely mounted deer and elk heads,
full antlered hung on the walls Of the
dlhng-room. illustrated papers, ma
gaZines and books were in every room.
The house was beauti6ed by the pre.-
ence of handsome and agreeable wo-
man. The windows and doors were
protected with wire screens.
There were excellent servants insthe
house. The employees of the ranch were
housed and fed in another and remote
building. This ranch was the home Of
a Philadelphia gentleman. He said
that it was not necessary to live like a
Digger Indian to succeed in cattle
raising. He and the wife were intelll-
gent persons, who could live in the
fore parts of their heads. They were
fond of outdoor sports and were not
oppressed by solitude-rathsr enjoyed
their Isolated life. The meals l ate in
this house were well cooked and hand
somely served and the claret was most
excellent. My host had passion for
grouse and black tailed deer shooting,
and gratifed it during the three days l
Spent with him.

Salt For the Throat.

In these days when diseases OF the
throat are so universally prevalent.
and in so many cases fatal, we feel 1t
our duty to say a word in behalf OF a
most effectual, II not positive cure for
sore throat. For n any years past,
indeed, we may say during the whole
OF life Of more than forty years, we
have been subject TO dry, hacking
cough, which IS not only distressing to
ourselves, but to our friends, and those
with whom we are brought into busi-
ness contact. Last autumn we were
induced to try what virtue there was in
common salt. We commenced by
using it three times day-mornIng.
noon and night. We dissolved a large
tablespoonful of pure table salt in
about half a small tumblerful OF water.
With this we gargled the throat most
thoroughly just before meal-time. The
result has been that during the entire
winter we were not oniyfree from coughs
and colds, but the dry hacking cough has
entirely disappeared. We attribute
these satisfactory results solely to the
use of salt gargle, and most cordially
recommend q trial of it to those who
are subject to diseases OF the throat.
Many persons who have never tried the
salt gargle have the impression that 1t
is unpleasant, but after few days use
no person who loves nice, clean
mouth and first-rate sharpener OF the
appetite will abandon 1t.

When Jean awoke, twilight filed the
, room with fantastic shadows, and ray
from the street lamps fell Pickering Cr
the walls.
He knew he was in place he had
seen before, but all was SO unwoutej,
and the languor Tn 1t lay upon him was
so delicious and enchanting that he felt
sure he was IN a dream from which
he hated to awaken.
Even the loud knocking at the door
failed to rouse him to reality, and when
he heard his brothers. voice crying out
in alarm: Jean, Jeanl" 1t onl5 stirred
his wrath. IS If summoned at an un-
welcome hour.
Then followed silence, and he sat
marveling at the luxurious surround.
ings, and the mystery of his presence
here.
The turning OF key was followed
by the quick entrance of the hotel clerk
and Reginald Fontaine. The jswe.er
darted forward to his brother and
clasped This arm, he looked into his
dilated eyes and bewildered face, and
cried:
'Jean! Jeanl What is the matter2
Where is the locket?"
The locketi Jean sprang up. Ills
lethargy departed. He understood, and
tottering toward his brother, fell sense
less at his feet.
Ten days later the French salesman
reappeared. In vain Reginald Fontaine
recounted these facts and urged delay
until the swindler was captured and
the locket recovered. The Frenchman
only shrugged and listened, and ct the
end repeated: settlement
Fontalne at last drew a check for the
amount of his indebtedness, and the
Frenchman disappeared.
Time passed. No trace was found
of Barton nor his lovely wife. One
day, in New York, Reginald visited
the Rogues' Gallery at Police Head
quarters. He saw many faces there
not in the collection of his home off,
cials-among these, +. f. Barton and
the French salesman who had CON-
mlSsloned the locket.
Although the police could not ex-
plain this coincidence and secuted his
conclusions, Fontaine always believed
himself the victim Of a double con-
spiracy; that the knaves travelled the
globe with ample capital. one placing
jewels stolen abroad IN the hands of
responsible dealers in small American
towns, the other following to recapture
the prizes, and the original eonspirator
returning to demand payment for the
loss.
But while he never placed hand or
eyes again upon the French salesman,
lie had the satisfaction of adding his
testimony to the catalogue Of evidence
against Mr.. Barton at a later day, and
of seeing him consigned to prison. The
Versailles Locket, however, never re-
but Mr.. Reginald Fontaine
that his experience is worth
the two thousand five hundred dollars
which it cost him. Ee deals no more
with unknown foreign manufacturers,
neither does he trust valuable jewels
among strangers.

The Bath Not Weakening.

An error is in supposing that the
daily bath is weakening and omltting it
as soon as it does not appear requisite
to absolute cleanliness. 1t may be
diminished il convenience demands it,
but granted good health, it Is hard to see
any reason why a bath, properly given,
should not be useful throughout child
hood, as well as in infancy and adult life.
And this is said without any Of that fe-
tich-worship that makes the daily bath
religious duty, irrespective of health or
circumstance. 1t would surprise many
of our readers to know how recent is
the general use of daily bathing; and If
we rightly interpret some remarks in a
medical work of about the beginning
of this century. babies were not usu-
ally bathed after the first washing that
followed their birth. But, when it is
recommended indefinitely to continue
the bath 1t is not intended that it al
ways should have tbs same tempera-
ture ard duration. The room should
be well warmei, and if the feet be kept
warm the sponge bath may be gradual
ly reduced in temperature, its effect
being carefully noted.

Domestics in New Mexico.

not be obtained even for there large
wages. The native Mexicans supply
about the only servant to be had there,
and they are so unfamiliar with Amer

wIthal, are so iudolent and careless that
their service is far from satisfactory.
